Scaffolding With Storybooks

A Guide for Enhancing Young Children’s Language and Literacy Achievement

Laura M. Justice and Khara L. Pence, with Angela R. Beckman, Lori E. Skibbe, and Alice K. Wiggins

Use storybook reading to build the early literacy competencies that your preschool, kindergarten, and first-grade students need to become successful readers and learners.

This essential research-based guide provides strategies and sample interactions that will help you to strengthen children’s knowledge of written language, vocabulary, phonology, the alphabet, narrative discourse, and the world around them. As you develop students’ abilities and interests in these areas, you will ease their transition to more advanced levels of reading and learning.
